My cat was able to come home and today was the first day that she started eating on her own! The next ten days will be very critical for her. The home care is a bit daunting, but I know Grant and I will do it. The scariest thing is doing a portion of an [...]
This has been a tough, crazy month with my twelve-year-old cat, Rosie. She suffers from dislocated knees and arthritis, and this past week she didn’t seem to want to move any more. We asked for pain medication for her, thinking that she just couldn’t get up to eat, drink or move and when the pain [...]
After a ton of preparation and much waiting I finally had my disability appointment yesterday. I think it went very well. Because I had made an appointment I only had to wait for about twenty minutes in the crowded waiting room that was ripe for Swine flu conditions. The woman who interviewed me was nice, [...]
I recently had a changeover in my insurance where my COBRA ended and I had the option to private pay. The cost is pretty high, over $450.00 a month, but for continuity and because I have so much going on healthwise with so many doctors, Grant and I decided I would continue with my insurance. [...]

Tyler is starting to get better with potty training, with the help of candy kisses (yes, getting desperate), except he still [...]
As it could be a few more months before our money situation changes, hopefully, with me receiving disability, Grant and I have been talking about what we can cut back on and what we probably qualify for now.
We will definitely be applying for food stamps and heating assistance. The things I am scared about are [...]
My twelve-year-old cat, Rosie, suffers from a condition called Luxated Patellas, where her knees dislocate. Lately, she has been very bad, limping around, mostly resting. We had an appointment for her to see the veterinarian on Wednesday. On Tuesday afternoon I mentioned to Grant, “You know, I have not seen Rosie all day today.” We [...]
